It was sort of based upon the camo used on Skoda Turtle armoured cars. 

I knew I could see something slightly familiar there, just couldn't twig  :banghead:

I really like the big Lysander spats, even though the stance is a little high? A ladder on board?  ;)

The WWI style paint scheme is also very cool - weird, but looks great and consistent.  :thumbsup:

That really is superb Fred, I love it! Nice work!!

I created the arms company's name to form an acronym suitable for this endeavour ;-)

Thanks folks.

Zac - I honestly hadn't noticed the acronym until now.  You're right though, I am.

Dizz - cargo nets rolled down from the doors.  And there is a winch on the starboard side.

The spats and stub wings look so natural that I wonder why they didn't apply those to the H-34 in the first place! Though, the tailwheel looks a bit spindly and too tall, but if you want to keep the floor absolutely horizontal, maybe that is unavoidable. Ju87 cannon pods of course look good on anything.

The camo is more like a dazzle camouflage in the sense that it doesn't blend to any surroundings that isn't a hippie festival, but it does break its outline and make it hard to see where it is going ;D

Any chance of a close-up shot of the crew and interior?

zenrat

Close up would be tricky ST now it's all buttoned up but i'll see what i can do for you.

There is a whole discussion on colours and schemes earlier in this thread.

ah yes indeed I saw the Skoda Turtle, which makes me think of this Ford, which I found inspiring :
